Dear Jay,

My brother in law is a really big Cowboys fan. And every year on Thanksgiving, there is some danger that he can turn into a really sore loser. Football isn't just a game for him - he's way too into it! It's really really emotional for him. This year I will have other guests over. And I'm really afraid it's gonna lead to a big blowout because both my husband and brother in law get too into football, and I'm afraid my other guests will be afraid and want to leave. I just need advice on how to talk to them before hand! - Ashley
